Merge branch 'nd/shallow-deepen'

The existing "git fetch --depth=<n>" option was hard to use
correctly when making the history of an existing shallow clone
deeper.  A new option, "--deepen=<n>", has been added to make this
easier to use.  "git clone" also learned "--shallow-since=<date>"
and "--shallow-exclude=<tag>" options to make it easier to specify
"I am interested only in the recent N months worth of history" and
"Give me only the history since that version".

* nd/shallow-deepen: (27 commits)
  fetch, upload-pack: --deepen=N extends shallow boundary by N commits
  upload-pack: add get_reachable_list()
  upload-pack: split check_unreachable() in two, prep for get_reachable_list()
  t5500, t5539: tests for shallow depth excluding a ref
  clone: define shallow clone boundary with --shallow-exclude
  fetch: define shallow boundary with --shallow-exclude
  upload-pack: support define shallow boundary by excluding revisions
  refs: add expand_ref()
  t5500, t5539: tests for shallow depth since a specific date
  clone: define shallow clone boundary based on time with --shallow-since
  fetch: define shallow boundary with --shallow-since
  upload-pack: add deepen-since to cut shallow repos based on time
  shallow.c: implement a generic shallow boundary finder based on rev-list
  fetch-pack: use a separate flag for fetch in deepening mode
  fetch-pack.c: mark strings for translating
  fetch-pack: use a common function for verbose printing
  fetch-pack: use skip_prefix() instead of starts_with()
  upload-pack: move rev-list code out of check_non_tip()
  upload-pack: make check_non_tip() clean things up on error
  upload-pack: tighten number parsing at "deepen" lines

+deepen-since
+------------
+
+This capability adds "deepen-since" command to fetch-pack/upload-pack
+protocol so the client can request shallow clones that are cut at a
+specific time, instead of depth. Internally it's equivalent of doing
+"rev-list --max-age=<timestamp>" on the server side. "deepen-since"

+deepen-not
+----------
+
+This capability adds "deepen-not" command to fetch-pack/upload-pack
+protocol so the client can request shallow clones that are cut at a
+specific revision, instead of depth. Internally it's equivalent of
